Vegan Banana Bread

Peel the bananas and mash in a large bowl. Add oil and sugar and mix well. Add flour, baking powder and spices, and combine well. Mix in dried fruit or nuts.

Grease and line a loaf tin with baking paper. Pour the mixture into the tin. Bake for 20 minutes, then check for colour. If the loaf is browning too quickly, cover with foil before returning to the oven for another 30–40 minutes. I usually check at around the 30-minute mark so as not to overcook.

Allow to cool slightly in the tin, then remove and place on a wire rack.

This banana bread is deliciously moist and moreish and is perfect warm fresh from the oven or cold with a delicious cuppa.
